Energy consumption associated with users of a distributed computing system can be monitored using tracing according to some examples described herein. In one such example, a system can execute tracing software configured to track usage of a software service and generate tracing information. The tracing information cant attribute the usage of the software service to a group of users. The system can analyze the tracing information to determine a portion of the usage to attribute to a given user. The system can then determine an energy consumption estimate for the user, for example based on the portion of the usage associated with the user and an energy consumption amount associated with the software service. A graphical user interface can be generated indicating the energy consumption estimate for the user.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the tracing information includes a plurality of tracing entries, each tracing entry of the plurality of tracing entries including a respective request identifier that uniquely identifies a request that triggered execution of the software service, and each tracing entry of the plurality of tracing entries including a respective user identifier that uniquely identifies a particular user associated with the request from among the plurality of users.
6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the tracing software is separate from the software service.
